Amy Winehouse's mom, Janis, says her crazy kid goes on benders because she has no friends. The booze hound turns to the bottle because she feels so isolated from her peeps in St. Lucia and once she overcomes the loneliness, she'll be back on track.

In a new interview, Janis says: "Two of her closest friends are going over to try to calm her down a bit. I think it will make a big difference because in the past few weeks she's been bored. "

What a load of crap!

She wouldn't be so bored if she could make it through a performance. If she could manage to stand on her own two feet, she would be SUPER busy.

And what's more, Janis doesn't seem to be concerned about the drinking, regarding it as more of a phase then a problem.

"It's just another one of Amy's addictions getting the better of her."

Perez, why you being such a bitch to her? Yes she has problems (alcohol e.t.c.) but she definately has talent. She may be the most train wrecked celebrity but atleast shes got talent. Unlike Lindsey Lala.

Amy has a bottle to keep her company! Given her present condition, that's the only thing that would want to be around her. She needs to return to REHAB and dry out from all substance abuse issues…then start full force to rebuild her career before it's too late.

A family member, a friend or a work colleague needs to step forward and get this young woman the help she so desperately needs.

Re: PaLady – You're right and that may be a big part of why Amy has substance abuse issues…her mother appears to be blind to her pleas for help. Amy keeps upping the ante in a desperate hope that someone will notice her. Unfortunately, the only ones who seem to care are her fans, whom she's repelling quite quickly. She needs to return to REHAB.

WELL WHEN YOU CANCELL EVERY CONCERT YOUR SUPPOSED TO PERFORM FOR. I GUESS YOU HAVE A LITTLE TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS.SHE IS ONLY MAKING EXCUSES BECAUSE SHE IS AN ALKI,DRUG ADDICT AND WOULD RATHER SIT AROUND IN HOTEL ROOMS DRINK,SMOKE CRACK,TAKE PILLS AND GET FU@KED UP.GEE DOES THAT LEAD TO BOREDOM.I FEEL NOTHING FOR HER LIES, DRUG TAKING AND SIPPING GIN ON THE BEACH.WHAT A SKANK AND TOTAL LOSER!!!(TOUGH LIFE)

before any kind of help would actually be effective she first needs to admit to herself that she has a problem… clearly she does not think she has a problem and desperate pleas from friends family and fans etc will have no effect upon her.

Amy's officially more famous for her addictions than for her music. It's a real bummer to see that she truly has finally pissed it all away. Amy's only hope was her family, and they've turned out to be a nothing but a bunch of enabling twits.

Perez, this women is suffering from her addictions, just leave her alone you fat huge dog turd. Your a petty little twat to make fun of someone's illness, pathetic loser, just wait until your 15 minutes are up, and those you kicked will gladly push you farther down, Hollywood does not LIKE a bully. And yes, I will be the first to laugh at you.

The mom's lackluster attitude towards her near-dead daughter kind of explains how Amy was able to get into this sort of situation to begin with. If her mother had taken the drinking seriously when it had first started to become a problem, perhaps we'd have a very different (and significantly more put together) Amy than we do now. But as things currently stand, I give our slovenly Miss Winehouse less than a year to live.

Amy Winehouse always looks soo fucked up, she used to be such a beautiful woman before she become a drugie, she used to have a nice body and some ass, now look at her looking all shitty i hope she changes.

Her mum is such an enabler. Amy's Addictions. It's like she's talking about Amy's handbag. Amy's addictions ARE Amy. Making such a distinctive separation between the two gives Amy a lot of room to relapse, if in fact she's ever gotten clean. With twats like her parents, no wonder poor bitch wants to be stoned all the time.

dammit, you idiot! i really hope you get addicted someday to something as vile as alcohol! It's not as if she wouldn't want to perform or do anything else "fun". Addicts have great plans and the majority knows about their vice and the aftermath. As soon as theyre sober, they feel bad (especially mentally) and you turn back to the "medicine", just a little bit to get over the blues… and bamm, before they know it, it's the fifth beer and all the good intentions are forgotten. you can't run from it, even if you fly all the way to st. lucia. she needs to go into a program.

Re: litzie – Yes, she needs intervention. Until she has a desire to truly change her life though, I don't see it working for her. Maybe it's farther to the bottom of the barrel when you're a star with a large bank account.

shut up perez, lonliness is a true factor of life for many of us. and, sometimes booze helps with making you feel not so alone….Amy Whino has a problem, as do 50 million other Americans…be kind, and patient..One day, it could happen to you….Dan

Shut up Perez, leave her and others alone. Addiction is NOT a joke or a reason for anyone to put someone down….I wish that Amy can overcome this problem, as you should overcome yours of putting people down…..

Yea Winehouse suffers from the disease of addiction. She probably thinks she's doing well. Addicts will use any excuse to use (loneliness, celebration, sadness, happiness, the weather). There is always something. Amy needs to get willing to put all the drugs down (ALCOHOL IS A DRUG) and then I think everyone would be amazed at how well she could do. She is suffering from more than bad personal decisions, addiction is a disease. Perez, the American Medical Assoc. is clear and you should educate yourself, too….Son.

i love her! she's made some of the best music in this decade.
and yes, loneliness is a serious issue, how can you expect someone to lead a straight-ass life when they're left to their own devices day in and day out? you try solitary confinement in your room for a while and see how it goes.

it's not that easy… when ur sick inside…..it's like ur never happy neither with a ton of money nor with the coolest man.
u're always trying to reach something more but u don't know what exactly…
u'll never meet peace & it's kind of sad.
don't be so mean to her there are a lot of sicknesses around.

Shane Redway -- a Canadian rapper and close friend of Drake's -- was killed early Saturday morning in a car crash. He was just 26 years old.

Redway and two others were killed when their car lost control, struck a guardrail and burst into flames. The crash occurred around 4am outside Pearson International Airport in Toronto. It's unclear who was behind the wheel. Police are investigating the crash.

Drake took to Instagram to remember Redway, posting two different tributes.
